If you can find one with no rights attached, I'll see if Trish Jewison has hovered in a similar spot in the past couple of years. It has to be at a similar elevation as well as pointing the same way, or they don't line up.

Yeah, the classic Expo 86 shot would have rights attached, too bad.
I think that one is from a similar angle.

I just googled and the one I'm thinkig of is the poster where the fair is superimposed on the site!

Anyways, found this one at the MOV site (not the same angle).

Never will "everyone" be in favour of development. That has never, and will never happen. We as a city didn't reverse things until decades later when City Hall got into the social engineering business

Yeah 1920s. Those concrete bathhouses down there were from 1909.

Nice finds!
Note that Granville only had 5 lanes north of Georgia - 3 southbound and 2 northbound.

Nice images. You should really acknowledge the source when you post here, especially as those are under copyright. I think they're from the Vancouver Archives, were shot by William Roozeboom, (and they're OK to be published).

She mentions my favorite downtown building
"I always look for the Marine Building as reference after 1930"

^ First shot: post office being built.

Second shot: post office being repurposed!

Here's one I just posted that doesn't show the Marine Building, because it's from 1926, so before it was built.

Nice observation s211 on the Post Office. The Post should have this then\now enlarged and framed for display in their lobby.

Changing City, great website
